When this happens to people in their 20s, it's notable.
Sadly, as I approach 50, it happens in my workplace, in my private life, and in my family pretty much every other year.
- RougeFemme 13y agoA few of the folks that I know who are approaching 50 have started checking the obits in the paper frequently, so that they won't have an awkward encounter when they run into an acquaintance at the store, on the street, etc. and ask "How's so-and-so/our mutual acquaintance/your spouse?"
- jusben1369 13y agoThat seems a wee bit premature.
- judk 13y agoObits in the paper? Startup idea here, folks. Monitor my mail contacts etc and notify me when someone dies.
- shiftpgdn 13y agoThat's morbid, nobody would sign up for that.
- spb 13y agoOh god. We actually had a conversation about this here a while back, how the obituary industry is due to be disrupted... we hewed it through a few rounds of getting to the core problem and it ended up as a business idea for making a targeted version of Bang with Friends, "Bang with Widows".
